hello, is there any problem configuring a firewall in an dhcp client machine when an IP address change every time I reboot. In the firewall rules I denied (DROP) all incoming and OUTCOMING packet messages and after that this line:
iptables -A INPUT -s 192.168.16.118 -j ACCEPT iptables -A OUTPUT -d 192.168.16.118 -j ACCEPT lets my IP address can do anything although in the next reboot this IP changes so that line will not be valid anymore my idea to fix this is copying this IP to an enviroment variable (with export command?) to use it in my firewall rules script taking it's value for example: iptables -A INPUT -s $myIP -j ACCEPT iptables -A OUTPUT -d $myIP -j ACCEPT the part I don't know is how can I copy the IP address from boot -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
